The reality on site

The problems manufacturing fleets keep running into.

Mixed fleet, mixed meter types
Forklifts run on hour meters. Yard trucks run on engine hours and odometer. Over-the-road trucks run on odometer. Most platforms force you to pick a primary meter per asset class — and one meter never tells the whole story.
Forklift operator certs expire on a 3-year cycle
OSHA-compliant powered industrial truck operator training has a real renewal cadence — and a real fine if missed. Spreadsheets and email reminders don't survive shift rotations.
Plant safety audits require clean records
ISO, OSHA, and customer audits all want the same thing: a paper trail of inspections, PMs, repairs, and operator credentials. Pulling that together monthly is shop time you don't have.
Some plants require self-hosted
IT requirements, sovereignty, or air-gapped network policies push some plants away from SaaS-only. If your platform can't live behind the plant firewall, IT will block the rollout.
The FS365 difference

Four things manufacturing fleets get with FS365.

Multi-meter

Hours and miles, first-class on the same asset.

Engine hours and odometer on a yard truck. Hour meters on a forklift. Both on a generator. Fleet Service 365 treats every meter type as first-class and lets you trigger PMs from whichever signal matters — so you never miss a 250-hour service because the platform was watching miles.

  • Hour, mileage, kWh, and custom meters on every asset
  • PM thresholds on any combination of meters
  • Cost-per-hour and cost-per-mile, side by side

Operator renewals

OSHA forklift certs and CDLs in one calendar.

Track every OSHA powered industrial truck cert, CDL, medical card, and recurring training as a first-class operator-renewal record — not a custom field on a vehicle. Configurable due-soon alerts in days, weeks, or months keep certified operators on certified equipment, every shift.

  • OSHA PIT cert renewals on a 3-year cycle, automated
  • CDL, medical card, and any custom training type
  • Certified-operator-only flags by asset class

Maintenance

VMRS hierarchies for industrial fleets.

Three-level VMRS codes use the language industrial maintenance teams already speak. Tag every issue, work order, and PM by category, system, and assembly — then roll up cost-per-hour or cost-per-mile by make, model, plant, or GL code without rebuilding your reports every month.

  • Three-level VMRS hierarchy, configurable per tenant
  • Resolution codes for trend analysis and warranty claims
  • Reports roll up by plant, GL code, or asset class

Audit

Self-hosted, audit-ready by design.

Calculation-bearing fields are immutable. Every record carries full audit history. Photos and PDFs attach directly to assets, issues, work orders, and renewals — and Enterprise tier supports on-premise deployment in air-gapped or sovereignty-restricted environments. The same product, behind your plant firewall.

  • Immutable calculation-bearing fields and full audit trail
  • Photos and PDFs for ISO, OSHA, and customer audits
  • On-premise / air-gapped deployment on Enterprise

Plant-tested details

Built for the way manufacturing fleets actually work.

A few of the things plant maintenance teams tell us they actually use every week.

Multi-tenant for plants with multiple divisions
Run multiple plants or business units inside one tenant — each with its own customers, audit packs, and reporting boundaries.
Custom fields for plant code, GL code, capitalized flag
Track plant code, asset class, GL code, and capitalized flag — anything finance and operations need to roll up cleanly.
Multi-fuel: diesel, gasoline, propane, electric
Propane forklifts, diesel yard trucks, electric lifts, and gasoline pickups — each tracked with cost-per-unit and cost-per-hour.
Photos and PDFs for ISO, OSHA, customer audits
Attach inspection photos, repair invoices, and certification PDFs directly to assets, issues, work orders, and renewals.

FAQ · Manufacturing

Questions manufacturing fleets ask first.

Yes. Hour meters are first-class on every asset. You can combine them with mileage, kWh, or any custom meter on the same record — and trigger PMs from whichever signal matters.
Yes. Configure renewal types for any operator credential — OSHA powered industrial truck certs on a 3-year cycle, CDL, DOT medical card, lockout/tagout, and any custom training. Configurable due-soon alerts in days, weeks, or months.
Yes. Enterprise tier supports on-premise deployment, including air-gapped environments, with SSO via SAML or OIDC and a dedicated support SLA.
Yes. Multi-tenant with row-level security and custom roles, so each plant or division can run its own customers, audit packs, and reporting boundaries inside one platform.
Calculation-bearing fields are immutable, every record carries full audit history, and photos and PDFs attach directly to assets, issues, work orders, and renewals — so the next ISO, OSHA, or customer audit pack is one filtered export.
Yes. Up to 3 assets free, forever. No credit card required.
